How to export an executable from Unity 5 for the Oculus Rift
"Oculus recommends using Unity 5.1.1p3 and the Utilities package."
Unity 5: http://unity3d.com/get-unity
Utilities Package:https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/game-engines/0.1.0-beta/Oculus_Utilities_for_Unity_5/
After importing the Utilities Package and exporting with VR support checked or unchecked I get this 'non vr' menu.
What is the deal? Am I supposed to see the Oculus Rift in the 'select monitor' list? My old direct to rift apps from Unity 4 are still working but I can't get anything that I export from Unity 5 to work.

- cyberealityGrand ChampionNo, the Rift won't be shown in the drop-down but it should automatically work.
What runtime do you have installed? You should have the latest. - kevingullingExplorer6.0.1
This is the latest correct? - cyberealityGrand ChampionYeah, that's the latest. What version of Unity do you have?
- kevingullingExplorer5.1.2f1
- cyberealityGrand ChampionAre you able to use VR inside the editor? It should show up in 3D on the Rift w/ head-tracking.
- kevingullingExplorerHead tracking only.
- cyberealityGrand ChampionMaybe it's an old project you ported to Unity 5. Can you try creating a fresh project just to see if it works?
- kevingullingExplorerBrand new project with nothing in it but a skybox and the OVR Utilities package. I'll try a new one with just the OVR Utilities and report back with the results.
edit: Same result, headtracking only - cyberealityGrand ChampionYou can try updating Unity to 5.1.2p3, though I thought your version should work.
Does the Config Util say anything is wrong and does the demo scene work?
Maybe provide these log files if you can. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=23521 - kevingullingExplorerUnity is telling me that there are no updates available. 5.1.2f1 is the newest, but I will download 5.1.2p3 manually and see what happens.
Ok, I have 5.1.2p3 installed now, but there is no change. Same issue.
